[QUOTE="Scott_Rouse, post: 3835460, member: 51773"] Look, the presentation was in a room of over one thousand people and was not meant to be a fireside chat on the ins and outs of 4th edition. It was meant to say "hey would like to announce this product that will come out in 10 months, come to the seminars, and check out D&D Insider for more info". Bill and Chris are game designers, they are not professional presenters or even guys who get in front of large crowds on a regular basis. They are two guys who bust their butts working on a game that they love. They are not slick but they are credible. We could have put some slick PR frontman up there and had some razzle dazzle I-Phone multi-media blablahblah lazer light show and if we had it would have made a great soundbite but would look pretty damn fake. Instead we chose to use real game designers who love D&D and want to share that with the rest of the D&D community. As you have acknowledged, you are about 2 months behind on what has been released. As you asked, yes a lot more info has been released. Go to the wotc D&D page read staff blogs, playtest reports, articles, threads here and on the WOTC 4e boards etc. Morrus and the EN members have done an awesome job of summarizing the info so far on the front page that may be a good place to get caught up :) [/QUOTE]
